After the Earthquake 地震後 Jishin Go (PART 1)

When the earthquake happened, I was in my room surfing the internet.. It started slowly and I thought it was fine since I`ve experienced it before but when it got stronger, I left my room. Scary.. and sometimes when I think about it, the feeling of unsafe and worrying all the time will come back to me.. Until now, small earthquake (or can I still call it aftershocks?) still occur.

In this entry, I just want to share what I had to face after the big earthquake,

Well, when it happened, electricity, water and phone line was cut off.. Got back electricity and water at around 2am on 13th March.

We were asked by the dorm manager to stay at the dining room and candles was not allowed in our rooms.

Then, representative from International Centre came and we were given free dinner,

Since it was so cold in the dorm, we were also asked to warm ourselves at the nearby Daiei. We saw how bad the earthquake was on TV,

After electricity went back, we still can't use the lift..

With all the aftershocks, I decided to sleep at the dining room with my friend..

Even though damages was minimum in Shiki, it brought many inconveniences..

Back to Japan 日本に戻った Nihon ni Modotta

Hi everyone, its been a while (more than a month since my last post).. Did lots of things while I was in Malaysia and what I enjoyed the most there was eating.. From KFC, McDonald`s, delicious home-cooked meals made by my grandmother to Japanese food like Ramen and Yaki Niku (I can`t really eat those in Japan).

To be honest, I`m not that eager to come here again since I felt very comfortable in Malaysia but that`s not all, since a service provider here made me pay for something (even if I couldn't stay there until August).. Hmm.. So, I`m here :) Everything looks normal here except some rises in food prices but I think I can cope with it.

Boarded Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight on Saturday (23.4) at 11:30pm and arrived at Narita Airport at around 6:40 am (local time).. Encountered some problems at MAS counter due to the overweight of my check-in luggage. Initially weighted at 29.2kg, I had to take some things out, then it became 24.6kg. The picture below was taken in Japan,

The flight was a little boring with little choices of movies and the service was quite dissapointing. What was good about it was the breakfast, I enjoyed it ^^

Then I went back to Shiki using trains and it was a tough one.. Hu.. Hope everything is going to be okay..
